Course Platforms

Kajabi

When it comes to course platforms, Kajabi is #1 when it comes to creative design options because you can beautifully customize your course. It’s also an all-in-one system to host your courses, sales pages, affiliate program and order pages. While their sales and order pages are good, ClickFunnels is the way to go if you want a best in class marketing funnel. See more on ClickFunnels below. 

Teachable

Teachable is by far the easiest course platform to use to get your course ready to sell quickly. You can literally have your course ready in one day and the price point makes it a no brainer to choose them. Compared to Kajabi, Teachable is easy to set up and no coding skills are needed. Danielle started from scratch and scaled to over $2 Million on Teachable. Teachable is perfect for someone who wants to build their course, sell it, and start scaling and growing their business right away.

Email Marketing + CRMs

Active Campaign

Active Campaign is a robust email marketing platform plus a CRM– customer relationship management system. If you have complex segmented customer journeys and intricate marketing automations, Active Campaign can handle it. The robust features include A/B split testing entire sequences along with machine learning– predictive sending and predictive lead scoring. Plus, the built-in CRM can be used in place of standalone CRMs. Last but not least, Active Campaign’s customer support is top-notch and they are eager to help you on the phone or through live chat.

ConvertKit

ConvertKit is a powerful, yet agile email marketing platform that gives you the flexibility to send emails and marketing campaigns with automations, tags, and sequences. Danielle started out with ConvertKit and still uses it at scale today. The visual layout makes it easy to view your marketing campaigns and where your leads are in your funnel. Plus, Convertkit’s Landing Page Template Builder gives you a creative and effective way to send TASTY magnets, Course Coming Soon Announcements, and more!

Marketing Funnel

ClickFunnels

ClickFunnels is best in class when it comes to a complete marketing funnel system. Even if you don’t have any coding experience you can build profit-driven funnels with their easy to use drag and drop builder or you can use ready-made templates. Best of all, you’ll get access to Danielle’s shared ClickFunnel as a Course Alchemy member.

Bookkeeping, taxes, and payments

Quickbooks

Quickbooks is more than just ‘tax software’ and comes with various features to help you manage the finances of your business. You can track income and expenses, capture and organize receipts, estimate quarterly taxes, create invoices & accept payments, run reports, and more. Best of all, when you have a 1:1 coaching or consulting client, you can use the Quickbooks invoices option to customize your invoice.
